The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I did the "mission" where you take the boy fishing. For some reason, it kept telling me "The fishing rod cannot be equipped here." I moved all around, moved over by my horse, nothing. I closed out of the game, and reloaded it. Did the mission again, and it worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it was tied into them, but I have no idea what actually happened. I was fishing for the legendary in there and when I left, my horse was suddenly spooked by something and a strange single mysterious note played. Arthur said something like "...was that", but when I looked around, I didn't see anything. It was super foggy too, so it's very possible I just missed something. Oh, and I bagged the legendary jaguar yesterday. That was a serious pain in the ass. Damn thing must have killed me at least ten times without even getting a single shot off. Somehow I actually managed to sneak up on it the last time. I wasn't messing around at that point, so I blew it's head off with the only explosive rifle round I had. I enjoyed seeing that headless jaguar on the back of my horse as I took it to the trapper. Did you end up catching the legendary fish in the swamp? If so, any tips? I’ve tried 3 or 4 separate times now and just kept catching lake sturgeon. I use the special swamp lure and have tried standing in a few different spots, and even tried taking that little rowboat out. This is the first legendary fish I’ve had trouble catching. The other 8 I’ve vaught I had no problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here - https://www.usgamer.net/articles/01-02-2019-red-dead-redemption-2-hunting-animals-list-selling-pelts-tracking/legendary-buck-pelt Go there and hunt/kill the legendary buck if you haven’t already. Tip - keep turning your deadeye on and then watch the mini map, when looking for the animal clues question mark to start the hunt. You will see that question mark (to start the hunt) you are looking for pop up on the mini map. Then go to the fence and have the Buck antler trinket made. It makes it way easier to get a perfect pelt when hunting animals. As long as you use the right weapon, you usually always get a perfect pelt (even from the 2 star animals sometimes). Here are some badger locations and tips (it says hunt at night) - https://www.polygon.com/red-dead-redemption-2-guide/2018/11/6/18069228/badger-perfect-pelt-map-location heres another couple locations if that one doesn’t work - https://rankedboost.com/red-dead-redemption-2/badger/ https://www.ign.com/wikis/red-dead-redemption-2/Badger_Location_and_Perfect_Pelt_Hunting_Guide Edited February 10, 2019 by BillsFan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an oil rig east of Valentine. I setup a camp there and then wondered around for a while.

Anytime my horse gets freaked out by a snake, I immediately jump off and try to kill it. I wind up following the trail for a while before actually get to it. Yesterday was the first time I actually ran into a rattlesnake actually acting like a rattlesnake. I walked towards some herbs to pick them but then the rattle went off. That's probably the first time I ever bumped into one while on foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Between getting lost in the game, and our baby being born, I totally forgot I even made this thread. Glad to see you guys keeping it going strong. Where to even begin since Day 1... Once again R* really knocked it out of the park with an amazing immersive game with a ton of depth and detail. I've been regularly browsing the reddeadmysteries subreddit and am blown away with the amount of seemingly small details that can be spun into entire story lines.

Had a great time blowing them up, lassoing them and hanging them off of cliffs and bridges, and finding other great torture methods for them.

Gotta get creative! Use your tools! I've moved onto targeting the Lemoyne Raiders as much as possible since they are just Confederate dillwads. My favorite thing to do when I see the smoke rising and find a LR camp... get off my horse and sneak up on foot. You'll typically find 4-5 of them sitting around the fire. Lob a stick of dynamite into the middle of them. If you toss it right, it goes right into the fire, which also blows the flaming logs at them too. One well placed toss and all that's left are bloody stumps to loot. Seriously, eff the Confederacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bounty system is kinda ridiculous, and one of my only complaints about the game. It's super easy to be playing around and end up with a high bounty. That's why I didnt feel too bad about doing the "Gold Bar Glitch" back when the game first came out. Ended up with about $30k in cash as a buffer so I can mess around and not worry too badly. Especially in St Denis where if you just look at someone wrong, they run to the cops, who then SWARM on you and force you to shoot your way out of town, then end up with a $200 bounty. A trick I've learned is using the train tracks like a highway. I ride into St Denis on the tracks, and can go full speed without the danger of running into a pedestrian.
